The midline vertical forehead flap.
The midline vertical forehead flap is an unheralded flap that has valuable and specific application. It is ideal for certain reconstructions around the nose, orbit, and upper melonasal regions. The color match is excellent. The donor area is repaired per primum and because there is a double blood supply it rarely fails when nondelayed and rotated 180 degrees.
